Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Enablement roles are becoming a core lever in modern SaaS customer organisations, especially as product complexity and GTM motions expand beyond a single team. This position sits in a global enablement function while supporting multiple CX disciplines in Canada (implementations, success, support, payroll services, and benefits), signalling a SaaS environment where consistent execution across the post-sale lifecycle matters as much as acquisition.
For a SaaS career, the work builds durable capability in the mechanics that drive retention: onboarding design, operational playbooks, tool adoption, and performance frameworks tied to CX metrics. The remit also connects customer outcomes to commercial levers like renewal and expansion, which is increasingly how SaaS companies evaluate post-sale impact. Experience partnering with Product, Ops, and GTM on launches and messaging is particularly transferable across scale-up and enterprise SaaS contexts.
This role suits practitioners who prefer structured problem-solving over ad-hoc support, and who enjoy influencing through systems—training programs, coaching cadences, and measurable KPIs—rather than owning a single book of business. It will fit someone comfortable working cross-functionally and using data to diagnose performance gaps, especially in organisations standardising how CX teams operate at scale.

What we need
Employment Hero’s looking for a CX Enablement Specialist to drive capability, confidence, and commercial impact across our Customer Experience function in Canada, supporting our Implementations, Customer Success, Customer Support, Managed Payroll Services, and Benefits Experience teams.
As part of our Global Enablement team, you’ll play a pivotal role in embedding new ways of working, accelerating adoption of Employment OS, and transforming our CX function into a growth engine — one that balances exceptional customer experience with measurable revenue impact.
Your mission is to elevate performance, drive operational excellence, and empower our Heroes to deliver world-class customer outcomes. This includes designing and delivering onboarding, coaching, and performance frameworks that build skill, confidence, and consistency — improving retention, productivity, and reduced churn. You’ll ensure our teams are equipped with the product knowledge, processes, tools, and playbooks they need to perform at their peak.
In partnership with CX leaders, you’ll also create foundational frameworks including competencies, KPI structures, and performance improvement plans that help teams execute efficiently and at scale. Your work will directly contribute to our goals of improving Mission Promoter Score (MPS), while shaping a culture of continuous improvement, accountability, and customer obsession.
At Employment Hero, we believe winning teams have world-class coaches, a clear plan, the right support framework to sustain high performance, and time to recover. This role embodies that philosophy: developing A-players and creating the environment for them to thrive.
